Steve and family -I will never forget what a wonderful “PeePaw” Willie was to me when I was a little girl. He will always be very special to me.

Willie was a co-worker at Mobil Oil. He was a conscientious worker, but a cordial man...an asset to his Mobil team and a joy to know. Condolences to his family.

To Steve, and all of Mr. Chapman's family; My sincerest condolences for your loss. Mr. Chapman was a big man in many ways, and I know he will be missed. I had seen him out somewhere, a while back now, and I still, literally, looked up to him. I looked up to him as a good Christian man also. He was my little league coach a long time ago, and was a friend, and coworker of my Dad for many years. I can still hear his deep, slow voice. I pray God gives you peace, and the ability to deal with his passing. I was proud to know Mr. Chapman.
